Window collision, 1 WTC. Taken to clinic.
Naturalized in garden beds, not planted. The seed must have been brought in by animals or in contaminated nursery stock.
Photographed in June 2020 and May 2021.
Lawn weed.
Naturally occurring hybrid of Quercus falcata and Q. nigra, which often has leaves similar in appearance to Q. georgiana but the buds and acorn cap scales are different. Both parental species are present here.
This species has not reported from Palm Beach County before, but I expected it might be here because of this observation from Martin County, roughly 250 feet north of the Palm Beach County line:

I saw a few clones of Q. inopina along the sidewalk at this Palm Beach County site, so there's likely a lot more of it in this natural area. The problem is that there is so much introgression here between Q. inopina and Q. myrtifolia that it is difficult to pick out plants of the parental species among the hybrid swarm. Quercus inopina and Q. myrtifolia don't seem to hybridize so extensively in central Florida.
These Q. inopina clumps were distinguished from Q. myrtifolia and their hybrid here by their spreading clonal structure, their relatively large (avg. +/- 5 cm long), rigid, generally strongly inrolled leaves with sunken secondary veins (adaxially), thicker twigs and generally larger buds.

This raccoon was drinking water that had condensed on a iron fence. It seemed dehydrated so we gave it water. When we persuaded it to get down from the fence, it seemed disoriented and had trouble walking. Later it climbing a bag of brush we were removing so we left it there and notified the Urban Park Rangers.
On the trail to Cabana Sambata, along the river.
